This has been requested a few times by others. I love the feel of vintage cartoons/footage mixed with modern music and was hoping to use segments from this video for an original piece on my channel. audiblekbrad@gmail.com

I remember watching this when I was younger. It was on TV on a local channel one time. But I feel bad for the dog because he always gets into trouble. And those other dogs start it.

Hello pt,
This is a really nice little cartoon. I would be interested in using an extract of it in a short film. Are you the owner of the copyright? Or do you know if it is in the public domain?
Thank you,
Melting Prod

It's a cute little cartoon about a dog trying to keep puppies from making a mess so he won't be thrown out into the cold. It's nothing revolutionary, but it's harmless fun.

A nice little cartoon, quite funny in spots. It has a general christmasy feel which fits in with "now" (I'm watching/writing this a few days before christmas). Yes , there are better cartoons and funnier cartoons and yes, the dog's name is Princey instead of Hector, but still worth watching imho. I don't download too many of these , just watch them so downloading is a personal option after watching.

Subject: WHY HECTOR?
The dog's name is Princy. So why the Hector in the title?
Nice homely stuff though...I visualise outakes of this unexpectedly inserted into an adult film concerning, perhaps, a man suddenly faced with a paternity suit and having twinges of conscience after denying all responsibility...

Excellent cartoon featuring clever story-line, Great animation and cute dogs. There are some plot-holes, and the print looks a little worn, But it's still worth downloading.

I have loved this cartoon since I was a little girl. But there's a few things that bug me. For one, if the dog's name was Princie, then why is the cartoon called Hector's Hectic Life? Second, what's with never showing the character's faces? We only saw the master's feet and her voice with the heavy Russian (or whatever) accent. And third, after Princie nailed the dog door shut, how did the pups get back inside? I love this cartoon, but that's been bugging me for a long time.

The Paramount/Famous cartoon studio (formerly the Fleischer studio) usually made some fine cartoons in the 1940s, as evidenced by many of the Popeye and Little Lulu films. That cannot be saud for this particular film. I didn't download it, but I've seen it before elsewhere.

Prince, a dog, is threatened with cold weather by itÃÂs master if it does one stupid thing in the house, but, if itÃÂs good, then the owner promises a surprise on Christmas morning! So this being a cartoon, you know whatÃÂs liable to happen. ThatÃÂs right, something or someone will arrive to make itÃÂs life miserable! That something is 3 puppies, the similarities to Prince made me assume that their his, although thatÃÂs never revealed in this) and they instantly cause havoc in the house. Prince sees to it that his master doesnÃÂt discover the puppies causing this mess, and that makes for some pretty quick cleaning once the puppies, for example, make a mess out of the fishbowl.
This was amusing, the animators had some clever ideas on how the dog could get out of some quick call dilemmas. The only problem I had was with the instant schmaltzy ending. Like what made Prince act like that?
